As with any activity in school, we wish to maintain a partnership with our families. In the event that you have concerns over any of our assessment practices, I encourage you to contact me to discuss your concerns and to collaboratively move forward with an assessment plan that makes sense for your child, your family, and our student.
If a decision is made to excuse your child from testing, please complete the testing excusal process by December 19th, 2025(process linked HERE) and contact Kelsey Shoultz to discuss options.
